Hill of Tara - OPW Welcome to the official page for the Hill of Tara an OPW managed site. Attractions include an audio-visual show and guided tours of the site.

Though best known as the seat of the High Kings of Ireland, the Hill of Tara has been an important site since the late Stone Age when a passage-tomb was constructed there. Tara was at the height of its power as a political and religious centre in the early centuries after Christ.
